School of Business and Technology

Welcome to the School of Business and Technology!

We live in a challenging time. But challenging times create opportunities for those with determination and commitment. Here at the School of Business and Technology (SBT), we are focusing on the future, the “What’s Next Economy”, and have created undergraduate and graduate programs to give students the tools and skills they need to seize the opportunities ahead for them.

Why Marymount? We are the only school in the Greater Washington region that combines technology, business, entrepreneurial, and leadership education under one roof. We are a one-stop shop and don’t have the friction and silos that you will find with interdisciplinary programs at most other universities. Whether it's the broad range of undergraduate minors and degrees or the diverse graduate qualifications of our graduate programs (both degree and certificate), we provide pathways for students to combine technology understanding, business insights, entrepreneurial attitudes and leadership skills to become valued leaders and employees in the future What’s Next Economy.

Our approach is based on three principles: modularity, efficiency, and resiliency. Modularity means that our various programs work together so that our graduates can tailor their courses of study to achieve degree qualifications that uniquely position them in the future job markets. Efficiency means we offer many accelerated programs that don’t reduce credit hours or academic rigor but can be completed in less time. Resiliency means that our programs combine intimate synchronous and asynchronous face-to-face and online learning, combining the best of in-class and online experiences that you can tailor to your work life balance during this stressful time.

Eleven graduate certificates in essential technology and business disciplines that can be obtained on their own in as little as 6 months, or counted towards one of our masters programs to create unique specializations in a Master’s Degree, such as an MBA with a Certificate in Cybersecurity or an MA in Human Resource Management with a Certificate in Data Science. You can also combine 3 of the certificates to receive an MS in Emerging Technology, putting you ahead of the What’s Next Economy with its new emphasis on technology in business and government.

I encourage you to look at our webpages for more detailed information. We have designed programs for challenging times, optimizing your talents for the What’s Next Economy with its focus on new business models, advanced technology, innovation and leadership. They will give you the educational advantages you need to succeed and thrive in careers with unlimited scope. We are here to make a difference for you so you can make a difference for others.
